About the role

 

About the role

We are seeking an experienced video editor to join our team and help amplify our organic marketing strategy. 

You will be responsible for making high-quality video edits for Youtube (typically ~10 minute videos), as well as short form videos (~60-90 seconds).

We currently have 30,000 subscribers on Youtube and 40,000 followers on Instagram.

Our email list is 250,000 so we can push a lot of initial views to new content.

 

Requirements:

Types of edits:

• Animations/graphics for titles, text, diagrams, images
• Stock footage/b-roll
• Sound FX and music
• Filters and effects
• Memes, comedy (the ability to use humor where appropriate is powerful for retention)
• Retention based edits to keep viewers engaged

Your main responsibility is to turn the current raw video footage/pre-cut video footage into a long-form video, and then also creating short form video from that initial long-form. This includes using stock footage, graphics, animations, music, sound effects and editing strategies to keep the retention high. You will be required to edit 1-3 videos/week.

 

Working Hours:

You will be working between 10-30 hours per week, depending how much time you have available (part-time or full-time). We can give more work if your schedule allows it.

Hours: Flexible (timezone differences are okay) but generally available weekdays Central Europe time. Your manager will be in Europe time.

 

Track New Trends & Viral Ideas

Help us keep making great videos for our audience. Suggest video ideas, concepts, titles and other things that help videos get more views.

Your 2nd responsibility will be to analyze and monitor each post's performance in real-time and offer recommendations and adjustments based on the data.

 

Optimize the team workflow

Building a cooperative environment so that everything runs nice and smooth, from accessing the raw video file through to our social media marketer publishing your video. We want this to be very easy for you!

Your 3rd responsibility is to keep in touch with the rest of the marketing team to help enhance our workflow. That includes time-stamping the raw content, curating videos, extracting scripts and other tasks assigned by the head of the team.

• Attend weekly team zoom calls with the head of marketing and communicate via Slack through the week.
• Maintain a regular weekly upload schedule for the accounts. For example, exporting 1-3 videos per week and be available for feedback and revisions.
• Keep up with what's relevant and stay on top of the news with the ability to react to trends in the brand's tone of voice
• Monthly progress reporting

 

Strategic Responsibilities:

• Sourcing relevant stock footage/b-roll
• High-volume output: 1 YouTube (long video) and 1-2 shorts/reels per week is the current goal
• Subtitling every video (we have software for this)

 

This is a part-time position, with the aim to move to full time as our content production increases.
